The mission of the Columbus State University Libraries is to provide library and information resources, instruction and other services that promote and enrich intellectual and personal growth as well as scholarship. As part of the 2012 renovation, the Simon Schwob Memorial Library, located on CSU’s main campus, now offers flexible seating for up to 300 students. The new furnishings, along with portable whiteboards and wireless Internet, provide students with excellent opportunities for creative collaboration in a food-friendly environment.

Looking for a Different Kind of Research Tool?

Check out CSU ePress, CSU’s year-old digital repository that holds the academic output of the university.  You might be asking “What’s in it for me?” and we can honestly say that there’s much that the CSU ePress has to offer for CSU students and faculty.

Using the CSU ePress, one can access electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) generated by members of CSU over the years. The repository also holds an extensive list of faculty bibliographic references, and a number of faculty publications, in addition to some student publications. 

The CSU ePress is a valuable research tool for those who care to have access to academic materials generated by CSU students and faculty, as well as citation information about faculty publications. For those who care to contribute their work to the repository, it’s an easy way to not only archive one’s work, but also to have one’s work openly disseminated.

All material on CSU ePress is open access, meaning that the material is available for everyone’s use, free of charge.
